Sony Ericsson K220 - User Reviews

  • About the Alarm 2 and Alarm 3 sounds. Yeah, Sony Ericsson should've stuck with the alarm sounds from the T280i; the Alarm 2 and Alarm 3 sounds like something really weird.

  • Satisfactory Value For Money...

  • Whorst pfone I ever had from SE,the keys are horible,not one of theyr best models

  • my simple phone......

  • why this phone always gives problem. maeeages are neighter sending nor coming. even "text message" folder is not opening. what to do?

  • Well to be honest its a good lookin bad phone, i was used to my older nokia n72 which i gave it for this phone + good cash. It realy sucks, its slow, no internet some messaging problems,the only good thing on this phone is that SE made it without a joystick button, but it will have to do till i find a good n73.

  • Circuit failure problem. Almost 75% K220i users facing this problem. Add to this SE's third class service. Just dont buy this piece. Other SE models are good.

  • Hi, Well, please don't try to answer the questions that are answered before. This question was answered before.

  • probably u r facing the problem of message counter number....if it is changed or editted accidently by u or your friends messages could not be sent...call up your customer care number and ask for it...ok ...chill out

  • Hi, What type message you mean? SMS or MMS? If you cant use SMS contact the customer service representative of the service provider. There might be some problem with the message centre number. To use MMS you will have to activate the MMS service by contacting the customer service of the Service Provider.

  • Hi, For that you will have to activate GPRS first. But the connection will be slow because it uses GPRS class 8 and also due to the absence of a USB connection. Infrared is a bit slow.

  • my mobile is good in every thing but i cant send messages to my friends, what is the reason for that?

  • how to connect to pc this model for browing internet

  • Quite a good phone for its price. One would find it very slow if they have used better phones before.But overall a good phone for rough use.

  • I have brought this mobile in September 2008. It looks good but it has many drawback like u cannot use handsfree & charge your mobile at same time because both shares the same socket. 2nd drawback is its keypad.keys are so closer to each other for ex when u go to press press any no like 2 or 3 adjacent key get also pressed . 3rd problem is its hanging problem. 4th problem is it has no GPRS.you can't activate internet services on it.

  • u have 2 call airtel cust care if u want to activate the gprs

  • it can stroe 250 message

  • Anybody tell me the answer.How to activate the GPRS on this phone in airtel?

  • anyone have idea how much it has msg capibility

  • hay i am ekram from Bangladesh. I am SE lover. But K220i one of the worst phone ever i have used. What can say everything about it is bad. I would like to request SE to stop its production as soon as possible.

  • I am Shayamal Biswas, purchased K220i model handset dated on 13th Oct 2007. After 1 month it was started problem. Though I have I already visit your nearest service centre so many times, & they already change my battery 4 times, & 1times mother board. But still remains same problem. In this this connection I am very much disappointed after taking this handset. so I want to change my handset as soon as possible. Plz let me inform that what I have to o or that? Your local retailer doesn't replace my set. Now suggest me what is the perfect way? Is this your product & service? Why people will suffer after purchase ur set? If you are not support us, then what will be your company reputation? regards shyamal kr Biswas 9470335139/9304860425 [email protected]

  • it is good phone

  • I've bought this phone radio nice on headset n back speaker camera not bad for a cheap phone the strange thing is .. why can't i connect to wap site .. it always said that "communication error" .. WIERD .. even though i have the correct internet profile .. is this a bug ..??

  • It hangs many times,its hands free many time gets unconnected, even though it is plugged,and shows removed on screen, it is slow, However FM clarity is good

  • i bought this phone and it cost here in the middle east only 40$ its incredibly cheap cheaper than the nokia 1110i wich it has a monocrom screen like a calculator and the ringtone is so low but this baby got a great colored screen 65k TFT and the speaker is loud like u holding a panasonic radio and its very stylish and nice to hold again the price is 40$ WOOOOOW

  • I want to buy one..what is da price??it attractive to me since it has fm..

  • this phon is sume time haging that is the problame

  • this is very good mobile.good battery,stylish

  • i purchase this mobile on gudi padwa. so nice but i not yet find internet on this mobile.

  • There is no video available on this phone...Only camera.

  • I have this pjhone and it's a good one

  • phone key not working properly

  • What you get is not what they advertise. I bought it today in Delhi. Keypad is cluttered with unwnated Hindi but the promos and add shows only English characters. You do not know the color till handset is out of box. One really bad thing that looks absurd for a mobile with a camera is that you cannot associate photos to entries in address book. This was let down. In my view there are two uses of phone camera,1)add photos to numbers and 2) MMS. Adding to address book is tedious. You cannot connect charger and earplugs at same time as they use same socket. Most of the site have same duplicate reviews so that do not help much. And you always have limited time to check out things so fine in details. - Suirnder

  • good, but why the voice if we call someone is small and how to active gprs

  • this phone is good

  • i purchased this phone 3 months back.it's performance is bad.many times it got hanged automatically.

  • It doesnt support java..

  • This phone version is without JAVA Technology. I'm disappointed

  • i brought this phone last week when u play game u cant hear fm at the same time

  • only one sentence-unlimited qualities

  • i have bought a sony k220i for last month. this mobail is feature any other is very well.and its duant cheep,as campare to other mobail.

  • There is a problem when u switch between channels while hearing FM. For example when u hear a channel and when u change to some other channel i will not change immly. In such case u must restart the radio to take effect

  • I bought this mobile three days ago. + FM (Good Quality) IR Camera (You can store around 50 pictures) - No video recording(but it has been mentioned in many websites. I bought this mobile in India. I am not sure if the features differ with respect to regions) You can send message to 10 recipient at a time but there is no groups.

  • i m user of this handset i need vmc service should be provide in this handset N tru tune is also available on this handset

  • Yes there is a speaker phone. To try a simulation go here and press "Try the phone"

  • hey, pls anybody using it pls answer. Does it have speaker phone......

  • a great entry level phone with userfriendly interphase and its a good thing that sony ericsson decided to ditch the cumbersome joystick/toggle for a more practical button although it would have been better if the camera had cover protection and a flash. otherwise,it has ample talk-time,a handsfree-speaker for both phone and radio,it also has great connectivity features via infrared and wap. all in all,one of sony ericsson's best entry level celfones. a good buy for anyone on a budget and with practicality in mind.

  • please send me infrared port software and user guide

  • please help! Anybody tell me how much talk time this phone has.. please guys!

  • Does it have Speaker Phone in it... anybody using it Pls answer.

  • Does it feature "Send to many" option in Meassaging.??

  • i think the main drawback of this phone is it's memory

  • When i heard the sound from this mobile FM Stereo it's so very-very cool, i feel glad belong this mobile..

  • it has no video camera! or.. if it has.. where is it? cause i can't seem to find it!

  • this phone should of had 3g

  • This mobile is quite good if it would be less than 3000 Rupee.

  • Hi, this hand set is costly comperition other mobile compny thanks RGDS, rajde amit

  • Does it support java?

  • This phone is a kiddy phone. Only bought by parents wanting a cheap alternative for their kids, or ppl with little or no money.

  • hi ihave this phone for about a week now. very nice and great little phone. love it this is my first sony erricson. the only thing missing is blue-tooth the camera is quaility is not the best. so if you want a phone for the camera, dont get this model. go for the w810i or 850. if you want an everyday phone with great music and radio. go for this. value for money it is very good. i went for it as i will use the radio and the mp3 more then the camera. hopes that helps for got to say, an other good thing is that it lets you play the radio through the loud speaker with the head set connected. and also it allows you to be able to plug any standard headphone into the head set.

  • A nice easy phone with FM...

  • if you want a better phone just pay a little more, there is a lot of choices: don't expect a card slot, large memory or bluetooth in a cheap phone

  • this people don't understand why this phone is built if you want an mp3 player and more memory go buy the walkman series

  • Phone Sucks.Same old product.Nothing new,no MP3 Player nor memory card expansion.Very short memory of 2 MB

  • Could be better if it would have greater memory or memory card in it.

  • If you want more memory and bluetooth, you should get the K320. Sheesh, this is for people who want a good looking cheap cameraphone.

  • to osman, well quit complainin about the 2 mb memory coz nokia's got the 6070 with mp3 support.now tell me how many snapshots,wallpapers,themes,and not the leasttones it can hold?huh its good that atleast sony thought of something for the first time users who want a cheap camera phone with good looks.

  • osman: Yes, I'd recommend you to buy the K310. It comes with larger screen and much more memory (15MB).

  • its a f***ing drap phone.....c'mon whats da use of the VGA camera with just 2 MB of memory Can u believe it!!!!!! just 2MB!!! gosh i dunno i think i would rather buy k310 intead of this crap ...wht du u think??? Answer mah question

  • Nice of Sony Ericsson to add FM radio. Lots of people will find this very useful. Very nice low-end phone =)

  • nice low end phone ..

  • Great phone! Only thing it lacks is b/t for handsfree. It looks great smooth lines and a glass like finish. Far better looking then a lot of 'low' end handset and better yet it's SE so the build quality will be top notch. Well done Sony Ericsson nice to see a solid phone from you guys.

  • A perfect mate for my white M600i

  • its sleek and looks cool..compliments my everyday wardrobe..basic functions and operations..nothing fancy..good for everyday use..

  • is there mp3 tone ?

  • just the different colour of pic is showing its beuty and grace otherwise moelike a most vergins of samsung and old series of ericsons but talk time makes the mobile as a friendly user for userers

  • this is meant for those who want to enter the mobile-imaging world without having to waste so much money buying a SE K310 or Nokia 6070/80 and doesn't compromise the looks and the overall appearance. the specs are just similar to a J230 with a T610 memory and K700 camera module with a nokia-like UI.

  • Comparable to the Motorola W215. Although I like the design of this one better. This looks more of a "Starter Pack" version of a phone for people who have no intentions for heavy usage. - RATINGS-(Based on target market) Design: 7.5/10 Features: 3/10 Market Value: 7/10

  • with tht memory in mind,i will take only my pic and set as wallpaper:)..

  • nice phone ..

  • i think nothing is wrong in making a phone with less resolution and less features. Its just a way of expanding Sony Ericsson's line of mobile phone. i think its target market are those people who only needs a phone to call and send SMS and non of those 3g technology blabber. Well at least it has an FM radio to complement the phone's feature

  • Very nice looking.

  • eeeek! seriously! Why?! SE should just be designing flip phones that are bigger and has bigger screens like sharp904 and putting lots of functions instead of making super low end useless phones.... If this phone would be cheap so then example n6630 which has more functions and though old isn't categorised as a low end so I hope SE gets it ^^

  • only if memory was more.....bad thing SE!!

  • The features of K220 = J230

  • SonyEricsson...this is getting a bit ridiculous now...not a single one of these 10 new phones caught my eye...il stick to my K750i for now...

  • One question...is low end market so good, why SE keep on intro so many low end phone???

  • im second!!!! :)

  • haha! world record! im the 1st one to post!!!
